Alfred Walton Anderson (January 28, 1914 – June 23, 1985) was an American professional baseball shortstop who appeared in 146 Major League Baseball games for the Pittsburgh Pirates during the 1941, 1942 and 1946 seasons. Anderson was born in Gainesville, Georgia; he threw and batted right-handed, and was listed as 5 feet 11 inches (1.80 m) tall and 165 pounds (75 kg).
His professional career began in the low minor leagues in 1938, but Anderson would require only three years of seasoning before making the Pirates at age 27 in 1941. With future Baseball Hall of Fame shortstop Arky Vaughan starting only 90 of the club's 156 official games, Anderson was penciled into the Bucs' starting lineup 56 times; overall, he batted .215 with 48 hits. The following year, with Vaughan traded to the Brooklyn Dodgers, Anderson backed up Pete Coscarart, starting 40 games and improving his average to .271, but he also spent part of the summer in the minors with the top-level Minneapolis Millers. From 1944 to 1945 Anderson served in the United States Navy during World War II.[1] He returned to the Pirates for two pinch hitting appearances in April of 1946, then was sent to the minor-league Hollywood Stars. He left baseball after that season.
In his 146 MLB games played, he batted .238 lifetime; his 93 hits included 11 doubles, three triples, and one home run, struck September 14, 1941, at Forbes Field against Lefty Hoerst of the Philadelphia Phillies.[2] He was credited with 17 career runs batted in and six stolen bases.
Anderson died in Albany, Georgia, aged 71.
...... Shipping and Packaging details: I ship everything with cardboard backing. Additionally, I slip all autographed photos inside sturdy photo-protective sleeves. Payment details: Typically, I ship paypal payments right away. PAYPAL is recommended. International shipping will be higher as all international orders go through the Global Shipping program. How I obtained my autographs, and why I promise a FULL MONEY-BACK GUARANTEE: As a kid, from roughly the years 1965 to 1973, and later from 1974-the present, I have amassed an enormous collection of autographed sports and celebrity memorabilia. In most cases, using Jack Smalling's baseball address lists and other assorted address lists, I wrote to both active and retired baseball players, sending them letters, requests for signatures, and self-addressed-stamped envelopes. This is how I obtained thousands of autographs. I also obtained many autographs in person at area parks and hotels.In the 1980's and 1990's, I travelled the country doing shows (20 National Conventions) and would buy quantities of autographs through player signings. I have every reason to believe that all of the autographs I'm selling are absolutely authentic. I stand by every item I sell. Upon purchasing an item from me through eBay, you may return that item, in the condition in which I shipped it to you, within 14 days of receipt of that item if you are not satisfied with the item. I am selling each item "as is", per the guarantee I've promised above. All the old time autograph dealers know me and the professional authenticators will vouch for my reputation as well. I do this on a part time basis, so sometimes emails take a day. I have worked hard for my feedback rating. The last thing I want to do is damage my credibility, so if you have legitimate concerns about any item you win from me on eBay, I'll make every effort to remedy the situation to your satisfaction. PLEASE NOTE: Most items come with certificates of authenticity from outside companies (JSA and PSA predominantly; they are the best). I have spent lots of money with third party authenticators and have had very few come back without passing. Sincerely, Joe Binder , Downers Grove, Illinois
